Saturday, March 20, 2010 — 11 am - 5 pm
Every weekend in March, the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail offers a nifty little package called “Barrels on the Brandywine.”   This is a great opportunity to experience regional wine without spending a lot on tasting fees.  For $25 per person, the Wine Trail’s  Passport Program gets you into all eight wineries for tastings and other surprises only available for this special event.  Join Rolling Barrel on our guided tour or have a go at it on your own.  For more information, contact us at info@rollingbarrel.com.

Sly Fox Bock Festival & Goat Race
Sunday, May 2, 2010 — 10 am - 6pm
First brewed in the 14th century and named after the German city of Einbeck (or “Einbock,”) bock beers are traditionally full-bodied lagers meant to be consumed on special occasions.  For years now, Sly Fox Brewery has done a tremendous job celebrating springtime with their Annual Bock Festival & Goat Race.  Rolling Barrel will be on hand to promote our partnership with the brewery for this year’s BBQ at the Ballpark.  Stop by our tent and drink a bock beer with us!  More info on the event can be found here.
